Rock County Sheriff's officials say 21-year-old Michael D. Sands was driving a pickup truck westbound on Highway C when he failed to negotiate a curve near Evansville-Brooklyn Road. He drove off the road for approximately 130 feet when he struck a tree. Sands was seat-belted and partially ejected. Evansville firefighters were able to extricate Sands from the truck.
